Triethoxycaprylylsilane is a silane used to coat pigments and mineral powders. It helps them disperse evenly and resist clumping, improving the smoothness, wear, and finish of tinted and mineral-based formulas.

The Coating That Makes Mineral Sunscreen Wearable
Zinc oxide and titanium dioxide are stubborn powders. Coating them with triethoxycaprylylsilane stops the particles clumping, so a mineral screen spreads in a sheer, even layer instead of streaking, and the finish is less likely to turn chalky as the day goes on.
Unsurprisingly, nearly everything on this page is sun protection. EltaMD's tinted line is well represented by UV Clear Tinted SPF 46, UV Daily Tinted SPF 40 and UV Skin Recovery SPF 50. Revision's Intellishade Truphysical SPF 45 and Alastin's HydraTint Pro Mineral SPF 36 take the same approach.
Does the coating affect how well the sunscreen works?
It helps. Evenly dispersed particles cover more skin per ounce applied, and an SPF you are willing to reapply is worth more than one you avoid because of the cast it leaves.
